With the Denver Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 win, the Manning brothers finally have caught up to Tom Brady.
Peyton and Eli Manning each have two Super Bowl wins, while Brady won his fourth last season. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was quick to point that out Wednesday in a one-on-one interview with WCVB-TV’s Maria Stephanos.
“I happened to see Archie (Manning) there (at the Super Bowl),” Kraft said, via ESPN.com. “He has two sons who have won two Super Bowls (each). But with all due respect, we have one son who has won four.”
Brady was booed while appearing at Super Bowl 50 as part of its MVP celebration. Kraft, as the Patriots do best, tuned out the noise.
“To us, we didn’t hear it,” Kraft said. “We just heard loud noise and I just heard cheers everywhere around me. I find out what people (are saying), all this social media chatter. I think there were a lot of Denver fans and Raider fans in the audience, since it was so close. I don’t know, I think they see us as a big rival. But he is such a classy, wonderful guy. He went there representing our team, our coaches, our fans.”
Kraft also said his plan is for Brady and head coach Bill Belichick to retire as Patriots. That could still be a long way off, since Brady said in October that he hopes to play 10 more years.
